Magic Death, The: Virtual Murder 2 1993 Adventure
An anthropologist is found dead in her apartment as a sacrifice in a voodoo ritual. The Magic Death is the second entry in the Virtual Murder series of FMV murder mystery games. As in the previous title, the player has to solve the crime within a time limit of 5 hours. Time decreases when an action is performed (examining an object at the crime scene, watching a suspect's interview), the exception being a brief case summation that can be accessed and played without any penalty. After gathering enough evidence (stored automatically in the notebook area), the player can call a press conference...
Druglord 1991 Strategy
A small little financial game- something like the old Lemonade Stand games, except for the drug sales, robberies, shootouts with the police. No graphics- everything takes place on a text screen. You start out with $500, in one of 8 cities (Chicago, Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, San Diego, and Washington DC). Buy and sell 8 different types of drugs (Ludes, Speed, Grass, Crystal, Acid, Heroin, Crack, Cocaine- in order from lowest to highest in street value.) Sock some money into the bank so you don't lose it due to robbery; visit loan sharks (and try to pay...
Pure Wargame, The 1995 Strategy
The first in an aborted Pure Wargame series, this late WW II game was disappointing in every respect: poor AI, confusing interface, and badly written manual. As loyal fan of the company, I can only speculate that the obviously premature release of the game was compelled in part by pressure from American Laser Games (QQP's new parent company) to quickly improve the company's shaky finances. Despite the interesting and less-known historical scenarios, the game was released way too prematurely. If you want to know what a bad QQP game is like, this is it. ...
Zax: The Alien Hunter 2001 Arcade action
Zax is the last of a dying breed, a resolutely two dimensional isometric action game in a world of first person shooters and polygonal bad guys. But thanks to a genuinely interesting storyline pushed along by a healthy supply of in-game dialogue and scripted sequences, it manages to be more than just another retro throwback. As the game begins the eponymous anti-hero has just been shot down over an uncharted alien planet, and at first your job is simply to collect crystals and ore to help your on-board AI repair the damage. Before long though you are dragged into the middle...

Crusader: Adventure Out of Time 1997 Educational
An historical adventure game set in the Middle Ages at the time that the Franks were beginning to be driven out of Jerusalem. The player follows the adventure of Artaud, a disgraceful French Lord, who is sent to redeem himself by traveling to the Holy Lands to escort the True Cross back to safety. This is done through a series of scenes, with narration. The player has to complete certain tasks before Artaud can progress to the next scene. These tasks are generally of an educational nature, such as learning how sieges on castles were carried out, or who the...
Joint Strike Fighter 1997 Simulation
Once you pop your eyeballs back into their sockets after your first aerial tour of Joint Strike Fighter, you begin to sense both its strengths and limitations. The prime strength is right there on the screen: the most detailed, fluid, impressive graphics of any combat simulation now available. Period. Even without a 3D card, this sucker screams. Terrain isn't a lumpy wet blanket of wiggly textures and flat horizons, but a finely contoured, artistically shaded rendition of four different regions: Afghanistan, Korea, Columbia, and the Kola Peninsula. The terrain doesn't come apart like a cheap suit once you're down in...
20000 Leagues Under the Sea 1988 Adventure
Based on Jules Verne's classic sci-fi story of the same name, this game faithfully captures the atmosphere and plot of the novel despite simplistic puzzles and banal dialogues. However, there are a few plot twists to keep fans of the novel curious to the end. Features some of the most obscure and convoluted puzzles that would become one of Coktel Vision's legacy. ...
Quik The Thunder Rabbit 1994 Amiga
A simple platform game, with fine graphics and good music. The story is: Everybody was happy in the rabbitvillage, but one day and evil steal all the carrots! Argh, you have to get it back! ...
Cold War 2005 Puzzle
In a nutshell, Cold War is a Splinter Cell clone, but that really doesn't do the game justice. Cold War might liberally borrow the stealth dynamics, the focus on gadgetry, and the moody lighting that the Splinter Cell franchise has made famous, but Cold War puts its own strong stamp on the formula. It offers challenging gameplay, interesting levels, and a compelling story. While this isn't bad for a "clone," Cold War is also sadly marred by huge technical problems that just aren't worth the effort. The game would often refuse to load at all, or simply crash soon after loading....
